Power Oatmeal Pancakes

I have been finding so many amazing recipes, figured I would share them with you.We are going to be making cauliflower pizza crust this week- stay tuned.

I am making these pancakes on Sunday night. My staple breakfast is oatmeal with fresh fruit or plain Greek yogurt with berries and cinnamon.I like to make a large batch of  breakfast and heat it up, if i have time, every morning. Baby is usually hungry the exact time I am hungry, should I be surprised? I need quick, high protein, fresh options.

These can be heated in oven, or microwave; I'll probably eat them cold with fresh berries.

Ingredients*:

• 2½ cups / 600 ml dry rolled oats
• 6 egg whites
• 1 cup / 240 ml low-fat milk of your choice
• 1 Tbsp / 15 ml ground flaxseed
• 1 Tbsp / 15 ml safflower oil
• 1 tsp / 5 ml baking powder
• 1 tsp / 5ml vanilla
• 1 tsp / 5ml cinnamon
• Cooking spray/coconut oil
 *I may add one scoop of protein powder

Preparation

1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend the mixture for 20 seconds. The resulting mixture should be smooth. Spray a griddle or skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of pancake mixture on the hot surface. Cook until the panckes are dry and bubbly on the edges. Bubbles should appear on top, as well. Turn and brown the other side.
2. Try using unsweetened applesauce or mixed fresh fruit to top your pancakes.
